This cottage is amazing, it is located on a mountain and the drive up to it from the public road takes 8 minutes in first gear. You are 8 minutes away from the nearest neighbour.

Unique! Buried in a forest accessed by a long private lane hugging the hillside as you climb high towards your goal.

Wonderful cottage, off the beaten track and surrounded by woodland and wildlife (including red squirrels that come right up to the feeders outside the windows). A converted barn on the outside, the interior is all clean, modern architectural styling, with the living space on the top floor. Well equipped, and immaculately tidy. There is loads to seeRead more and do in the surrounding area, especially if you like walking, castles, and gardens. The owners are incredibly friendly and helpful. Hide

I would certainly recommend this property, lovely clean, spacious property in a stunning location. Saw an abundance of wildlife, deer, squirrels, woodpeckers, blue tits etc. A walking path behind the house, so excellent forest walks. Within easy distance of Perth, Crieff and Edinburgh for day trips. Super hotels nearby for food.
